Скачать или смотреть She Didn’t Run From Slavery — She Sued and Won

Elizabeth Freeman, also known as Mum Bett, was an enslaved Black woman who changed American history without ever running away.

In the late 1700s, she heard the words “all men are born free and equal” in the Massachusetts Constitution and believed they applied to her too.

Elizabeth sued her enslaver for her freedom.

And she won.

Her court case helped end slavery in Massachusetts and became one of the earliest legal victories against slavery in the United States. Despite her impact, her name was nearly erased from history.

This is the story they didn’t teach you and one that deserves to be remembered.
